A BROKEN NECK.
John Schramna Drives i'm Front
of II Train.

John Schramm, fruit peddler,
met with an accident yesterday morn
ing. shortly before noon, which re-
suited in his death. 1t appears from
the statements of the witnesses, f. IL.
Aldred, Manuel Gotta, Henry Dennison
and Joseph Eberly, that Schramm
was in the saloon at the City Gardens
when the proprietor, observing horse
and wagon at the watering trough and
hearing an approaching train on San
Pedro street, called to him and asked
him if the ''rig" belonged to him.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer
tho saloon-keeper told Schramm to
look out for the train. Schramm ap-
peared to lose his head, and jumping
on the wagon in hurried manner
attempted to turn the horse around.
AZ this time the Santa Monica train
was but a short distance away and
was moving quite rapidly. AS 1t
approached it became evident to the
bystanders that an accident was about
to occur. for instead of guiding the
animal out of the way Schramm
in some manner had managed to
turn the horse so that the
wagon stood partly over the
track. A second later the
train seemed to pick up the wagon
and whirl it over, throwing Schramm
under the horse, and each OF the
train wheels as it passed struck the
unfortunate mans head, killing him
instantly. The hind wheels OF the
wagon were demolished and the horse
had the skin and flesh torn from his
side and his front foot badly cut. The
train stopped as the last car came even
with the wreck or within 800 yards
from where he was struck. He must
have died instantly, as his neck was
broken and he was dead when picked
no by the train hands. The train was

Hamnran, engineer, John Bassett,
conductor. Coroner Meredith, was
soon on the scene and ordered the
body taken to Garrett 4 Neitzke 3
where an inquest will be held at II
A. NJ.
The deceased leaves wife and tw'
small children in almost destitute CIR
cumstances. They reside with th'
brother-in-law OF the deceased's VIII

Republican Resolutions.

Following are the resolutions adopted by the
Barber County Republican convention Septem-
Der 10, 1887, and. on the same day, rescinded:
We, the representatives of the republican
party of Barber county, having listened with
patience to the gasconade of a democratic con.
vention. and the harmless cffusions of the un-
ion labor party, now wish to promulgate few
truths to an intelligent constituency.
We cannot endorse, in company with our
democratic friends, the administration of Gro
vcr Cleveland. and VIC regret that the demo
cratic partizanS of Barber county are unable
TO distinguish between the pig-headed obstina-
cy of the present incumbent and the patriotic
firmness of Andrew Jackson.
We arraign the democratic party as rccrcant
tn every trust, and fnlse to every promise Il
has made TO the American people.
Its president, who employed u substitute to
do his lighting, and then, in q spasm of econO-
my, neglected To pay said substitute for his SER
vices. now sits I'm the presidential chair. enjoy
ing princely salary, and Vetocs every bill
which looks To the relief of those who lost their
health that he might enjoy the blessings of an
undivided union.
While covering its person with the many-col-
orcd cloak OF reform, IL has harrassed the set
tiers ON government land with eensclcss re-
quirements and petty annoyances, thereby
causing the settlers OF Barber county the UNI
necessary expenditure of thousands upon
thousands OF dollars. and has forced many
poor and worthy persons to abandon all hope OF
land and home.
In mockery of it's gildcd promises to the de
Tenders of the nation, IL has filed the places of
highest trust with unrepentant rcbels and
crowded the consular and diplomatic service
with those who fought To destroy the Union.
Sailing into power under the hypocritica
banner Of civil service reform. II has ousted
| thousands OF efficient servants and filled theiI
places, I'm many instances. with incompetent
persons, and often with candidates for the pen
! itentiary.
We demand that the useless surplus i'm the
United States treasury shall be disbursed In
giving pensions to the loyal soldiers OF the
Union.
We believe that labor and capital are ilcnti
